40 Worst Habits For Belly Fat

YOUR HABITS COULD BE BEHIND THAT BELLY FAT.

“Ready to order?” I asked my friend Danielle last night, in the chili pepper rope-light glow of her favorite Mexican restaurant. “Yup,” she answered. "Tonight, I’m eating my feelings. Another margarita please,” she told the waiter. “With more tortilla chips!”

Her big meeting with her boss that morning failed to yield her the promotion she'd hoped for. Danielle took a swig from her glass, and crunched a nacho. Her feelings were clearly deep-fried and sugar-rimmed.

Who can’t relate? Science has proven that the way we feel about ourselves is inextricably intertwined with what we're eating. And sometimes, those sad, lonely, or frustrated feelings aren't telling you to call a friend or go for a run—they're just screaming "Donuts now!"

Yet science also shows this only leads to more unhappiness. A study conducted over a two-year period in California reveals that among the obese, rates of depression are significantly higher. Our bellies and our brains are working together to keep us sad and fat.So what can you do about it? First, read on to find out the 40 Worst Habits for Belly Fat.
